the CIRL framework, one can formulate and solve the off-switch problem—that is, the problem of how to prevent a robot from disabling its off-switch. (Turing may rest easier.) A robot that’s uncertain about human preferences actually benefits from being switched off, because it understands that the human w

Consider the developments during the 1930s- 1940s: Godel's Incompleteness Theorems (1931); Turing's "On Computable Numbers, With An Application To The Entscheidungsproblem" (1936); Bateson's theory of "Schismogenesis" in Naven (1936); Rosenblueth

It was McCulloch who insisted over Norbert Wiener's objections that "mind" be introduced into the mix, and for this, he recruited Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead.
